KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Andrew Baggett kicked a 35-yard field goal in the fourth overtime period Saturday as Missouri rallied from a two-touchdown halftime deficit to beat Tennessee 51-48 at Neyland Stadium. Missouri forced overtime when James Franklin threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dorial Green-Beckham on a fourth-and-12 play with 47 seconds remaining.

Each team scored touchdowns on its first two overtime possessions, including a 5-yard run by Tennessee holder Tyler Drummer on a fake field-goal attempt. Each team reached the end zone again in the third overtime but failed to make its ensuing two-point conversion attempt.

Missouri's defense finally came through in the fourth overtime when safety Ian Simon broke up a fourth-and-3 pass to Zach Rogers from the Missouri 18.

Tyler Bray threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns for Tennessee (4-6, 0-6). Franklin threw four touchdown passes and Kendial Lawrence ran for two scores for Missouri (5-5, 2-5).

1985: The GREATEST MISSED CALL IN SERIES HISTORY

The 1985 Series began on October 19, 1985 and ended October 27. The AL champion Royals played against the NL champion Cardinals, winning the series four games to three. The Series was popularly known as the "Show-Me Series", or the "I-70 Showdown Series," as both cities are in Missouri, connected by Interstate 70.

The GREATEST missed call in Major League history cost St. Louis the WS title when in Game 6, in the ninth inning, with St. Louis leading 1–0, Jorge Orta led off the bottom of the inning with a ground ball to Cardinal first baseman Jack Clark, who flipped the ball to Cardinal pitcher Todd Worrell covering first.

First base umpire Don Denkinger called Orta safe, but television replays showed that Worrell CLEARLY beat Orta to the base. Orta later scored and the Royals prevailed. A truly despicable display of horrible umpiring - especially when one team was within three outs (2 after Orta) of the title.

Denkinger should have been banned from organized baseball for life and cashed in his KC Rotarian pay off money. His credibility as an official was thouroughly discredited thereafter and his name should be forever expunged from the roll of honorable MLB officials.

Siddhartha, by Hesse as reviewed by Jeff Urmston

Another personal journey story, Siddhartha is about the quest for enlightenment. The story, although fictional, is set in the time of the historical Buddha and is about the eponymous character setting out to find the Truth. Dissatisfied with the teachings of his priestly caste, Siddhartha sets out to find teachers, philosophies, and ideas that will help him on this quest.

Siddhartha’s journey takes him through the highs and lows of the spiritual quest. Ultimately he discovers that great realization has to come from within him and not from any ideas or conceptual frameworks. As the cliché goes, a teacher can show you the door, but you have to walk through it

Live A Good Life

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. - Marcus Aurelius

Restraint

Power is ability to do as one likes, regardless of the wills of others. When a person or small group dominate without limit there is despotism, whether called monarchy, aristocracy or democracy.When everyone claims power unto himself, there is anarchy. Anarchies fade - they are intolerable and contrary to ineluctable truth that some are stronger or more clever than others. Anarchy is succeeded by tyranny or oligarchy, with power monopolized.In a republic, we must limit and balance power to prevent anarchy and tyranny. Constitutional restrictions, checks and balances and law enforcement are the tools of freedom.

1934 Cardinals

The 1934 World Series matched the St. Louis Cardinals against the Detroit Tigers, with the Cardinals' "Gashouse Gang" winning in seven games for their third championship in nine years. The Cards and Tigers split the first two games in Detroit, and Detroit took two of the next three in St. Louis. But St. Louis won the next two in Detroit, including an 11–0 embarrassment in Game 7 to win the Series. The stars for the Cards were Joe ("Ducky") Medwick, who hit .379, a Series-high five RBI and one of St. Louis' two home runs, and the meteoric ("Me 'n' Paul") Dean brothers, Dizzy and Paul (or "Daffy") Dean, who won two games apiece with 28 strikeouts and a minuscule 1.43 earned run average. 1934 was the last World Series in which both teams were led by player-managers.

1943 NL Champions

The 1943 World Series matched the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals against the New York Yankees, in a rematch of the 1942 Series. The Yankees won the Series in five games for their tenth championship in 21 seasons. It was Yankees' manager Joe McCarthy's final Series win. This series was also the first to have a 'World Series highlight film' made for it (initially, the films were created as gifts to troops fighting in World War II, to give them a brief recap of baseball action back home), a tradition which continues to this day. This Series was scheduled for a 3–4 format due to wartime travel restrictions. The 3–4 format meant there was only one trip between ballparks.

Imperfectability

Human nature suffers irremediably from grave faults. Imperfect Man can not create a perfect social order.

Human restlessness would compel mankind to rebel under any utopian domination, breaking forth again in violent discontent - or else we should expire of boredom.

To seek utopia is to end in disaster: we are not made for perfect things. All we reasonably can expect is a tolerable, just, and free society.

2012 Cardinals

The Cardinals 2012 season was the 131st season for the franchise in St. Louis, Missouri, the 121st season in the National League, and the seventh at Busch Stadium III. The Cardinals made their 25th trip to the postseason in 2012 after taking the NL Wild Card title by one game over the Atlanta Braves on the last day of the regular season in 2011. They began the 2012 season away against the Miami Marlins on April 4. In 2012, they finished with an 88–74 (.543) record and second place in the NL Central. By virtue of coming in second to the Atlanta Braves, they won the second National League Wild Card spot, and then beat the Braves in the one-game Wild Card Playoff. They then played the NL East Division winner Washington Nationals in the NLDS and beat them in five games to advance to the NL Championship Series against the San Francisco Giants. However, they lost to the Giants in seven games after leading the series 3 games to 1.

1885 St Louis Browns

The 1885 St. Louis Browns season was the team's 4th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the 4th season in the American Association. The Browns went 79-33 during the season, best in the American Association, and won their first AA pennant. In the World Series, the Browns played the National League champion Chicago White Stockings. The series ended in dispute with each club winning 3 games with 1 tie.

You and Your Work

Order

There is an enduring moral order. This order is made for man, and man is made for it: human nature is a constant, and moral truths are permanent.

Awesome!

Prudence

Burke believed that in a statesman, PRUDENCE is chief among virtues. Any law must be judged by its long-run consequences, not by temporary advantage or popularity.

Liberals and radicals dash at objectives without heed to the risk of new abuses worse than those sought to be cured: they are imprudent.

As John Randolph of Roanoke said, Providence moves slowly, but the devil always hurries.

Progress and Permanence

There is no mystical force in called progress this world.

When society progresses in some respect, usually it declines in another. Healthy society is influenced by two forces, which Coleridge called Permanence and Progression.

Permanence is formed by interests and convictions that give stability and continuity; without Permanence, society slips into anarchy.Progression is that spirit urging us to prudent reform.

2006 Cardinals

The 2006 World Series, the 102nd edition of Major League Baseball's championship series, began on October 21 and ended on October 27, and matched the American League champion Detroit Tigers against the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals won the Series in five games, taking Games 1, 3, 4 and 5. This was the third Series meeting between the Tigers and the Cardinals, the first in 38 years. St. Louis won the first in 1934, and Detroit won the second in 1968; each went the full seven games. The 1968 Series was the last before divisional play and an extra round of playoffs began. It was only the fifth time in 40 years that the Series featured two teams that had both remained in the same city since the formation of the American League in 1901, the last time being the 2004 World Series between St. Louis and the Boston Red Sox. The last three prior to 2004 were in 1975 (Boston–Cincinnati), 1968 (Detroit–St. Louis) and 1967 (Boston–St. Louis).

Community

In genuine COMMUNITY, decisions are made locally and voluntarily. Some functions belong to local bodies, others belong to private associations: if LOCAL and marked by AGREEMENT from those affected, they constitute healthy COMMUNITY. When functions pass by default or usurpation to a CENTRAL authority, COMMUNITY is endangered. A nation is no stronger than the small communities of which it is composed. NO CENTRAL administration, or corps of managers and civil servants, can confer justice or prosperity upon persons deprived of their old responsibilities.

1968 NL Champions

The 1968 St. Louis Cardinals season was the team's 87th season in St. Louis, Missouri and its 77th season in the National League. The Cardinals went 97-65 during the season, winning their second consecutive NL pennant, this time by nine games over the San Francisco Giants. They lost in 7 games to the Detroit Tigers in the 1968 World Series.

1886 St Louis Browns

The 1886 St. Louis Browns season was the team's 5th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the 5th season in the American Association. The Browns went 93-46 during the season and finished first in the American Association, winning their second pennant in a row. In the World Series the Browns played the National League champion Chicago White Stockings, winning the series 4 games to 2. This was the only win by the AA in seven postseason contests with the NL from 1884 to 1890.

Prescription

We see farther because of the stature of our ancestors. Prescriptionmeans long establishedor of immemorial use: antiquity is the chief sanction of many fundamental rights - including property. Morals themselves are prescriptive.

We will not make "new" discoveries in morality. It is dangerous to weigh and re-weigh every fleeting issue on the basis of shifting private judgments or rationalizations.

NANCY!

Custom, Convention, Continuity

CONVENTION allows us to avoid perpetual disputes over rights. Law is a body of conventions.

CONTINUITYlinks generations; it matters for society and for the individual; without it, life is meaningless.

Variety

We marvel at the growing intricacy of our institutions, yet we are repulsed by the narrowing uniformity and deadening egalitarianism of radical systems we see in other countries.

To preserve healthy diversity, any civilization, including ours, must allow for orders and classes, differences of material condition, and other sorts of "inequality."

The only true forms of equality are:
(1) equality at death, and
(2) equality before the law.
